I'm in the market for a set of M900 cantilevers. Let me know if you want me to liberate them
Also, it looks to me like you have the brakes installed backwards. The M900s were very cleverly designed by Shimano to be slightly different, FRONT vs REAR. The intent was for them to feel the same in your hand. The REAR has a longer run of cable and housing, so would naturally feel squishier. So, they designed the REAR caliper to have a little bit shorter arms, and a corresponding slightly lower Mechanical Advantage. That offset the squishiness of the cable and housing run, and the MA demands for a rear brake are lower anyway because it's much easier to lock up a rear brake. The FRONT had longer arms and a higher MA to complement the stiffer feel from a much shorter cable run. You have the longer arms installed in back and the shorter ones in front. At a glance you can tell them apart by the size of the hole in the arm.
